We all enjoy the colors of autumn leaves. Did you ever wonder how and why a fall leaf changes color?
Why a maple leaf turns bright red? Where do the yellows and oranges come from? To answer those questions, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.
Leaves are nature's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose. Glucose is a kind of sugar. Plants use glucose as food for energy and as a building block for growing. The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar is called photosynthesis. That means "putting together with light." A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color.
As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. This is how the trees "know" to begin getting ready for winter.
During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. The trees will rest, and live off the food they stored during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories. The green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. As the bright green fades away, we begin to see yellow and orange colors. Small amounts of these colors have been in the leaves all along. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.
The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in the fall. In some trees, like maples, glucose is trapped in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn cause the leaves turn this glucose into a red color. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.
It is the combination of all these things that make the beautiful colors we enjoy in the Autumn. Our florists know it and are creating the most beautiful bouquets according to these magical colors.

Flowers and romance have long been inextricably linked with different types of flowers symbolizing different emotions.
The beauty of flowers and the celebration of love are harmonious—so much so that it's difficult to remember a time when we didn't associate romance with the delight in receiving a fragrant fresh floral bouquet.
While roses are truly the quintessential messenger of love (a sure-fire way to aptly celebrate a new love or romantic milestone), during the Victorian era, couples used other varieties of fresh flowers in arrangements to send messages to each other as well—each expressing a different heartfelt emotion.
These meanings are carried on today as a way to commemorate each wedding anniversary through floral gifts.
Your romantic greetings will be delivered in person and on the same day if ordered before the daily cut-off time in the recipients time zone.

Have you ever stopped to think that giving an “average” gift may actually do you more harm than good?
It's like the difference between ordering a stylish bouquet from a florist or picking up a bunch of flowers from a garage forecourt - yes, the bouquet costs a bit more, but it looks great and shows thought & care - and the garage flowers? well, say no more.
This is particularly relevant at Christmas – We are proud to announce that soon you’ll be able to order our new Hampers and Gift Boxes. Stylish, modern food gifts for delivery around the world.
